The acquisitive prize of $7500 for Works on Paper was won by printmaker Jorg Schmeisser for his The Hazards, the beach is different after every tide #7 2001 – an engraving with pencil and watercolour.

Lord Mayor, Alderman Rob Valentine said “The Prize now in its 14th year attracted a near record number of entries in the nominated art and craft forms from craftspeople, artists and designers in all parts of the nation”. This year there were 259 entries for Works on Paper and 118 for Jewellery. “The task of selecting the 70 artists for inclusion in the 2002 City of Hobart Art Prize was expertly handled by the prestigious Judging Panel. They included Grace Cochrane, Senior Curator Australian Decorative Arts and Design at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Dr Benjamin Gennocchio, National Art Correspondent with The Australian Newspaper, and Hobart Art Writer and author, Peter Timms”.

The works can be seen at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, from 28 March – 19 May 2002. [Press release]
